Cat in A Sapphire Slipper

A Midnight Louie Mystery

Cat in&nbspa Sapphire Slipper is the twentieth title in Carole Nelson Douglas's sassy Midnight Louie mystery series.&nbspThe tough-talking,&nbsptwenty-pound,&nbsptomcat PI is as feisty as ever as he and his gang try to keep his favorite roommate from losing her man. PR honcho Temple Barr's&nbspromance novelist aunt Kit has&nbspwound up in a romantic plot of her own.&nbspShe's snagged one of the most eligible bachelors on the Strip, one of the elder Fontana brothers, a silver-tongued reputed ex-mobster with a heart of gold. There is to be a wedding... and where there is a wedding there is usually a bachelor party.&nbspThings go disastrously wrong when the entire party is hijacked and taken to a remote ranch out in the Nevada desert, a place where the women are wild and the sex is legal.&nbspAnd among the group? None other than Temple's own Matt, an ex-priest. Truly a fish out of water,&nbsphe&nbspsoon comes upon a beautiful young woman who is quite naked and most thoroughly dead.&nbspGiven the remoteness of the location with very few suspects on hand (plus the Fontanas' shady reputation) this could be a very bad thing indeed. And Louie? Well, he managed to go along for the ride and once again it's up to that big old tomcat to&nbspbail out his humans and save the day. Cat in a Sapphire Slipper is a fast-paced, racy mystery with a loveable cast of characters and one terrific tough dude to keep them all in line.

The twentieth novel in the Midnight Louise mystery series starts off with a wild Bachelor Party and a murder in the desert.
Temple Barr’s Aunt Kit is planning a Las Vegas wedding to her ex-mobster fiancé. Temple’s sweetie, ex-priest Matt Devine, has been swept up into the bachelor party at a licensed brothel called the Sapphire Slipper. There he stumbles across the naked body of a murdered prostitute. It’s up to the feline sleuth Midnight Louie to solve the murder and clear his human friends, but with the mob and a famous chicken ranch involved it will be an uphill battle.
